NCT ID NCT06345404

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-stage trial tested an experimental drug called soquelitinib in 82 adults with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (eczema). The main goal was to check safety and tolerability, while also looking for signs of symptom improvement. Participants received either the drug or a placebo, and researchers monitored side effects and changes in eczema severity.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

soquelitinib (also known as CPI-818)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new oral treatment option for people with moderate to severe eczema that is not controlled by current therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial focused on safety, not proof of effectiveness. The small size and lack of long-term data mean it may not lead to a viable treatment.
